Background
PMT is a model train club, based in Pretoria. We operate model trains in HO scale, DC and DCC, but we do not restrict members to a specific country / era regarding their models. Our club uses the modular approach to model railroading, we have various ‘tables’ or modules with track and scenery on it, that has to be set up before we start running trains, and taken down when we have finished running trains.
Currently PMT uses Digitrax for DCC operation.
At the club we try to encourage a general interest in trains, and specifically aim at growing the hobby of model railroading. In keeping to these goals, we try to arrange regular workshops for members, which can be in the form of a field visit to some railroad related facility. Demonstration / presentation type of workshops are also held. Occasionally a hands-on workshop is arranged, usually to maintain our modules and to share skill with others.
